Montana Connection

Smith River Gateway

The 1,819 acre Smith River Gateway is one of the finest recreation properties in the state of Montana, offering great seclusion. The south boundary of the property is contiguous to very remote and nearly inaccessible National Forest. The property owner who often hunts deer and elk on the property and in the National Forest to the south says that it has been at least five years since he last saw another hunter in the National Forest bounding his land.

The Smith River Gateway fronts on the Smith River, famous for its trout fishing and its beauty, in one of the most spectacular Limestone Canyons in the world. There are several springs on the property. One of the open parks has an area that has been used in the past as a landing strip. Wildlife abounds! Deer, elk, black bear and mountain lion are indigenous to the property.

The existing 4,480 sf. lodge built in the 1980's offers great utility but does not meet current building standards.

Smith River Retreat

~ UNDER CONTRACT ~
The fabulous Smith River meanders through this 480 acre property for approximately 1/3 mile. Situated 25 miles south of Great Falls, the Smith River Retreat is far enough from town to be country and yet close enough to town for dinner and a movie.

Approximately 80 acres of the Smith River Retreat is irrigated and under cultivation. Included with the sale are two 1/4 mile wheel lines. Transferring with the sale are three water rights including 174 acre feet from the Smith River. The owners have initiated an aggressive program of weed control. There is electrical service on the property.

The Smith River Retreat abounds with wildlife! This is a place where the deer and the antelope play, not to mention the trout! Adjacent to the property are 320 acres of state land. If you are seeking a trout infested, river front property that offers seclusion but is not terribly remote, the Smith River Retreat is worth seeing.
